Cabinet Member for Social Inclusion, Community Safety This strategy is our understanding of what and Equalities community cohesion means in Birmingham. It sets out a collaborative approach; one in which communities, faith organisations, public sector agencies, businesses, and individuals work alongside one another to marshal scarce resources and make more creative use of the assets and skills we have in our city and neighbourhoods. This strategy is not a ready-made solution to what is a complex challenge, but represents a collective understanding of what we can do to improve community cohesion as part of an ongoing process. We want to create an open and ongoing dialogue across the city in which we all continuously consider how our decisions, our resources, and our relationships across communities can be used to promote community cohesion. Together, we are making a commitment to ensure Birmingham becomes stronger and more resilient - a city where people from different backgrounds and organisations can come together to improve things for themselves and their communities. 3 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ______________________________________ What is community cohesion? Our understanding of what makes a cohesive Community cohesion is about how we can all and resilient city has been developed in live, work, learn, and socialise together.

  • Together We Can Deliver a Cleaner, Greener, Safer Birmingham
    Building an even better Birmingham Building a City of aspiration Birmingham Conservatives Manifesto 2018 Together we can deliver a cleaner, greener, safer Birmingham Promoted by Joshua Moreton on behalf of Birmingham Conservatives, both at 1-7 Langleys Road, Birmingham, B29 6HR FOREWORD Birmingham stands at the last chance saloon After years of knowing the Council needed to restructure itself to ensure that money could be saved while protecting frontline services, the Labour administration still fails to grasp the need for change and offers no vision beyond seeking to blame others for its own failings. Birmingham is a City with so many opportunities to flourish but is being held back by a Labour administration devoid of ideas and unable to get even the basics right. This year’s move to all out elections, due to the Kerslake review of failings at Birmingham City Council, means the Council has no excuses for not finally delivering the systematic change needed. This manifesto sets out our positive vision for change that delivers the world class public services Birmingham residents deserve in a sustainable and cost-effective way that is fair to current and future tax payers. The heart of our manifesto is a vision for one city that comes together to deliver the kind of place where we all want to live, work, raise a family and grow old. It is a vision for a city that cares about its most vulnerable, that promotes aspiration across all generations and in which communities are empowered to shape and drive the change they want to see.

    Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991-2001 CCSR Working Paper 2007-11 Albert Sabater and Ludi Simpson [email protected] Ethnicity data from successive censuses are used to compare population change. This paper shows that such comparisons are often impossible, wrong or misleading. Distortions become more severe as the scale of areal units become smaller. The paper outlines the four main sources of confusion and applies solutions for England and Wales for 1991-2001. The paper presents methods that can be used to resolve these difficulties and produce more accurate results, and produces a consistent time series for single years of age, ethnic group and sex that can be aggregated from the smallest census output areas. www.ccsr.ac.uk 0 UK Data Archive Study Number 6043 - Population Estimates by Single Year of Age, Sex and Ethnic Group for Sub-national Areas in England and Wales, 1991-2001 Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991- 2001 Albert Sabater and Ludi Simpson [email protected] Cathie Marsh Centre for Census and Survey Research (CCSR), University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PL, UK Albert Sabater: Post-Doctoral Research Fellow Ludi Simpson: Professor of Population Studies 1 Enhancing the population census: a time series for sub-national areas with age, sex, and ethnic group dimensions in England and Wales, 1991- 2001 Abstract Ethnicity data from successive censuses are used to compare population change.
